U.S. students have the advantage of a plethora of resources at their fingertips about financial aid to attend a college in the U.S.. Therefore, I am dedicated to creating more awareness for the two niches that I listed above. However, as a U.S. citizen myself who mistakenly relied on loans to finance my education despite my excellent holistic and academic profile, I did want to provide two valuable resources:

• Undergraduate Need-Based and Merit-Based Aid for Domestic Students

• FAFSA4Caster: use this form to predict how a school will determine how much you can pay for college anytime during your high school career.

Financial Aid Resources for International Students:

First of all, are you a high-achieving, low income international student? Apply to connect with an experienced college counselor! I am proud to volunteer with this Scholarship Program, as it has connected me to some of the most talented mentees from all over the world, all of whom are doing amazing things in their lives and with their higher education.
